With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, what could possibly be better than a Valentines Day Cupcake Candle?!?! We had a blast creating this cinnamon scented candle…complete with SPRINKLES!!! It is both adorable and smells amazing! So if you are looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day project, you may have just found it! So go ahead and get the below ingredients ready. Once you’re ready, let’s get started on this simple and fantastic candle recipe!

To start, weigh and melt 230 grams of our Pillar of Bliss Wax, using the double boiler method. You will want to melt the wax to 195 degrees. The wax will take a bit to melt. While it melts, let’s go ahead and prepare our molds. You are going to need 3 of the Silicone Heart Cupcake Molds and 3 of our votive wick pins. Place one wick pin in the center of each silicone mold.

Add a bit of your red color block to the wax. We found that we only needed a couple shavings to get a light pink for our cupcake candle base.

Now, let’s add our fragrance. You will need to stir into your wax 23 grams of Cinnamon Yum Yums scent. Make sure you stir it very well so the fragrance mixes thoroughly with the wax.

Next we can go ahead and start filling the molds with the melted wax. Be sure to fill each mold to the top.

As you can now see, you will have a little bit of the Pillar of Bliss Wax left over. We will need this wax for our embeds. Before pouring the embeds, add a little bit more of the red color block. We simply added a couple more shavings. You will only need to fill three of the cavities of the Love Hearts embed mold. Make sure you pour at a low temperature since this is a plastic mold. For now you can set these aside and allow them to setup. We will use them in a bit.

Let’s go ahead and start preparing our frosting. Use a double boiler to melt 140 grams of our wonderful Joy Wax. Allow it to melt to 200 degrees, then allow the temperature to drop to 175 degrees, and add 14 grams of our Cinnamon Yums Yums Fragrance Oil. Be sure to stir that fragrance oil in very well.

Now comes the fun part! Remove the silcone heart cupcake mold and…LETS DECORATE!!!! Add sprinkles to the top of each heart candle and one heart embed to each Valentines Day Cupcake Candle. We will need to continuously stir, stir, stir that wax until it cools and looks like frosting. Once you have a nice and thick frosting, start placing it on top of your heart cupcake base. You want you frosting go up to the height of the wick pin. Just be careful not to cover the wick pin completely.
